Heavy Medal focuses on books that are (or seem to be) in the running for the Newbery Medal each year. Reviewers analyze the books, make predictions, and discuss their opinions, inviting responses from their readers, supportive or otherwise. This blog is a good way to keep up with what's going on in the awards side of children's literature, whether or not the predictions of these bloggers and their readers end up to be accurate. Recommended read for youth librarians.
